"Cover" songs

[muggle not]

^{Joan Jett and the Heartbreakers version of "I love Rock 'n Roll"}

Who did the original?

[poppy]

I Put A Spell On You. Originally by Screamin' Jay Hawkins, this has been covered by so many people. But it's hard to choose between Nina Simone, CCR and Joe Cocker.

 

This is the one I choose for a cruisy, rainy Sunday night.

I hear the original by screamin' jay yesterday on the radio. It is getting close to Halloween. And I think I hear something scurrying across the floor while I am in bed.

I had to go to utube to actually watch the video. The Nina Simone song is awesome. Wow!!

I've been wondering about that song If I were a boy, I've heard two versions.

 

Reba McEntire

 

and there's Beyoncé

 

 

which one came first and which one do you prefer best?

[muggle not]

beyonce came first but I like Reba's version better.

[Kreader]

I like Beyoncé's video best but I like how Reba end's the song.

Roll Over Beethoven - original by Chuck Berry. Cover by The Beatles.

 

I will definitely go with Chuck Berry on this song.

Jolene - original by Dolly Parton....cover by The White stripes

 

No contest - original by Dolly Parton in a landslide.

[Timstar]

I know there are so many but Bon Jovi's Hallelujah is amazing!

The cover:

 

 

First single I ever bought

I much favor the John Fogerty

[Karsa Orlong]

Each to their own, but there's no doubt that the Quo version has exceeded the Fogerty version in popularity. It probably doesn't help, for me, that Fogerty's voice sounds like someone strangling a cat

 

This one's so bad it's hilarious:

ETA: Really like this one, but then I love the original, too

Wohoo! You know, when you listen to the Sentenced version, the original sounds sooooo slow, it feels like they can't keep up with the times.

I was at that performance too!!! It was awesome, wasn't it? We were there both nights - they only did that on the second night, so we got two completely different shows.

 

My hubby was dead lucky - he got to go backstage and meet the band afterwards. I was so jealous I almost burst! But one good thing did happen - hubby asked John Petrucci if there was any chance he could smuggle him out of there for me, and JP actually sent a message to tell me "Hi" and wish I could have come backstage too (it was a competition prize, which was why I didn't get to go back too).
